Gas Leak Dangers

Natural gas is a fantastic fuel option for your home's heating systems. Ducted gas heating, gas log fires and gas wall furnaces are all highly regarded heaters in Australia.

Gas Leak Detection

Air Con Service Near Me has the necessary qualifications and licensing to perform gas repairs. If you do smell gas, never attempt to repair the issue yourself. This could lead to more trouble in the future.

A standard investigation includes an assessment of gas fittings, pipelines and the gas meter. Our technicians use a manometer to detect pressure changes within the home. They will assess all pipe joints and fittings to ensure they are hermetically sealed (air tight). We may also perform a negative pressure test to search for and locate the leak.

Once the technician has detected a natural gas leak, they will isolate gas appliances and perform necessary repairs. Upon completion of the work, they will conduct a thorough final assessment once all work to provide long-term peace of mind.

Signs of a Gas Leak

Natural gas is actually an odourless substance, but only before it reaches your home. Before it reaches your kitchen stove or living room heater, a strong chemical odorant called Ethyl Mercaptan gets added to the gas in your home. It gives gas the strong rotten egg-like smell you might be more familiar with.

Mercaptan provides an early warning system that triggers your senses and alerts you to a possible gas leak in your home. In addition to an unpleasant smell, there are other factors potential indicators, such as:

  • Significantly higher than average gas bills
  • High-pitched whistling or hissing noises coming from gas appliances
  • The gas pilot light/pilot lights keep extinguishing, flickering or changing colour
  • Gas appliances are not working
  • You or someone in your house feels unwell without explanation (nausea, dizziness, breathing difficulties, etc)
  • There are dead patches of grass, or dead plants, near the gas meter and other gas pipelines

First things first, turn your gas off at the meter. To do this, find the gas handle and turn it so that it sits at a right angle to the pipe. The handle should be easy to spot, as they are always found with the gas meter and are usually bright yellow.

Next, it's best to do the following:

  • Ventilate your home as much as possible by opening up all doors and windows
  • Refrain from using any electrical appliances in your home, including light switches
  • Do not use fan appliances to help with ventilating the area
  • Never use an open flame of any kind
  • Do not turn a torch on or use a telephone near where you suspect the leak
  • Remove yourself from the danger and go outside to a well-ventilated area

Gas Leaks FAQs

Always be vigilant when you're using a gas heating appliance at home.

A suspected gas leak should be reported immediately once you have identified it. Gas leaks after your gas meter and inside your property can be assessed and repaired by a licensed gas fitter, including those at Air Con Service Near Me. If the issue is with your gas meter or on the street, contact the Gas Leaks and Emergency services on 1800 GAS LEAK (1800 427 532).

Natural gas is actually odourless until the utility companies that supply gas to our homes add an odorant to it called Ethyl Mercaptan. It is the added Ethyl Mercaptan that provides the smell - described as being like rotten eggs or rotten cabbage - and makes it easier for people to detect a gas leak in their home.

Direct exposure to leaking gas in an enclosed space can cause oxygen deprivation. This can lead to headaches, fatigue, impaired vision, loss of breath, and even unconsciousness. Some symptoms can mirror the common cold, so look out for widespread side-effects in the household. Contact your doctor if symptoms persist.
